The cleaned up version of “Resignation Day” and follow-up “Collapser” already showed the world that Banner Pilot is one of the better punkrock bands to come from the Midwest in quite some time. A fact they only confirm once more with album number three, “Heart Beats Pacific”.

The bass lines thump a little harder this time around and the guitar riffs are denser and heavier but other than that things have stayed the same. They still know how to pull hooks out of thin air and Nick Johnson still knows how to write some standout lyrics. But even though “Heart Beats Pacific” is pretty much a reprise of those two previous albums, I can’t hold it against Banner Pilot that they want to refine the sound that got them noticed.

About us:

PunkRockTheory.com is an online zine that has been around since 2000. We still love to force our elitist opinions on people and ask bands the dumbest things first. We currently have twelve restraining orders running against us and we are working on lucky number thirteen!

Recently our server crashed and we lost everything, including our whole database. Since work on the new site is taking a bit longer than expected, we're using this blog for now to post all the latest reviews and interviews.
